sudacode af44735bb8 refactor(main): move core layers into assemblies (#310)
* refactor(main): move first-run setup into an assembly

* refactor(main): move playback and subtitle pipeline state into an assembly

Moves the mpv runtime composer wiring together with the subtitle processing, prefetch, sidebar playback-state, seek-intent, secondary-subtitle and autoplay-priming state it mutates into createPlaybackAssembly. Replaces the main-wiring regex tests for the moved code with behaviour tests that drive real mpv events through a fake client.

* refactor(main): move overlay windows and visibility into an assembly

* refactor(main): read Electron screen lazily in the overlay assembly deps

* docs: describe overlay, playback, and first-run setup assemblies

* test(playback): clear scheduled prefetch refresh in warm-tokenization tests

# Testing Guidelines

Read when: adding or changing tests
Which lanes to run lives in [Verification](./verification.md). This page covers what a
good test looks like here.
## Test Behavior, Not Wiring
- Exercise a module through its public interface and assert outcomes: return values,
resulting state, files written, rows in sqlite, messages sent to a fake process.
- Prefer real collaborators that are cheap: tmp dirs, in-memory or tmp sqlite, fake
executables, pure parsers. Fake only the edges (Electron, mpv socket, network).
- Assert call order only when order is the behavior (startup sequencing, ABA races),
and then assert relative order, not the whole call log.
## Do Not Write
- Pass-through tests: a handler or adapter that only forwards deps
(`*-runtime-handlers.ts`) needs no test. TypeScript already checks the shape.
- Source-text tests: reading `.ts`, `.css`, `.html`, `.lua`, `.swift`, or workflow YAML
and asserting with regexes. If the invariant matters, extract the logic and run it
(see `src/preload-ipc-listeners.ts`). Policy lints over workflow YAML are the
exception and belong in one parsed-YAML check.
- "Stays deleted" tests for removed modules, flags, or selectors. `tsc` and review
catch reintroduction.
- Tests that restate constants, defaults, labels, or window options.
- The same rule at several layers. Test a rule once where it lives; keep one
end-to-end case (for the tokenizer, the golden corpus) for integration.
## Keep Tests Small
- Shared setup goes in a `makeDeps(overrides)` helper or a `*-test-harness.ts` file, not
pasted into every test.
- Near-identical cases become a table: `for (const c of cases) test(c.name, ...)`.
- Inject timers, clocks, and loggers instead of patching globals or private members.
- A bug fix gets a regression test for the behavior that broke, named after the
behavior, not the ticket.
## Known Debt
- `src/main/main-wiring.test.ts` and `src/renderer/renderer-init-order.test.ts` still
regex `main.ts` / `renderer.ts` to guard startup ordering. Replace each test with a
behavioral one as the logic moves out of `main.ts` closures.
- `src/main/runtime/overlay-geometry-runtime.ts` and
`src/main/runtime/visible-overlay-interaction-runtime.ts` value-import Electron, so they
cannot load under `bun test` and stay outside `src/main/assemblies/overlay.ts`. Inject
`screen`/`dialog` to make them testable and movable.
